Normally it should be a fine at most.
Now crossing the border with no passport to escape another country's judiciary system is a whole different aggravating circumstance.
- Scoundreller 7y agoThat’s basically the definition of refugees seeking refuge and legally protected rather than aggravating.
- ivan_gammel 7y agoThat’s true, but if the refugee status is not confirmed later, it still can be qualified as a criminal offense (that’s the case in Germany and Russia, for example).
- Scoundreller 7y agoI figure most countries at that point focus on deportation rather than imprisonment. They’d probably be perfectly happy if you skipped out to another country while awaiting the process. And bail is likely if your record’s been clean while you’re awaiting the process (unless they found something they really didn’t like). I guess the only real consequence is if you tried to immigrate there later.
- ivan_gammel 7y agoYes and no. Imprisonment costs money to the taxpayers, but it may also serve as deterrence. https://www.loc.gov/law/help/illegal-entry/chart.php?loclr=ealrr https://www.loc.gov/law/help/illegal-entry/chart.php?loclr=e...
- nradov 7y agoFrom a legal standpoint the country you're entering wouldn't typically consider that an aggravating circumstance. Lebanon and Turkey aren't responsible for enforcing Japan's laws.
